The Portland Trail Blazers appeared to break the Paul Pierce curse earlier in this NBA postseason, but one of Pierce’s tweets is getting a lot of attention after the Toronto Raptors beat the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
As a reminder: He said “I think it’s over” for the Bucks after Game 1 against the Celtics (narrator voice: It wasn’t!). Before Game 6 of Rockets-Warriors, he said Houston was going to win by a blowout (nope!).
And back on May 18, after the Bucks won Game 2 against the Raps, he dropped this tweet, which now has the possibility of being the kiss of death for Milwaukee:
That’s not aging well. NBA fans roasted him:
There’s still at least one more game to go here. But the Pierce Curse might rival the Drake Curse if the NBA legend keeps this up.
